Biblio-files: Artemis Fowl

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing Artemis Fowl! One of my personal favorites, Artemis Fowl was published in 2001 by Eoin Colfer. An action-packed sci-fi story, Colfer skillfully pulls you into a world of magic and fairies. He also wrote Iron Man: The Gauntlet, WARP, and the Supernaturalists, among others.

This book is great for readers looking for a great antihero novel that expertly blends magic with science. It features a lovable and intriguing cast of characters, including the paranoid centaur Foaly, the short-fused fairy Commander Root, the capable elf Captain Holly Short, Artemis’s ridiculously skilled bodyguard Butler, and of course the boy genius himself, Artemis Fowl. 
This book is unique as it has the main characters pitted against each other through the novel; Artemis Fowl versus the fairies. In later books, this relationship changes, which is what makes this one so interesting.

As I said, this series is probably my favorite one ever. From the first chapter, I was hooked on the adventures of this fairy tale re-imagined. I’d suggest this book to kids 10 and older, as the action might be too much for younger children.

Overall, this is a cohesive and gripping novel I’d recommend for all fantasy and sci-fi lovers!

Biblio-Files: The Secret Garden

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing The Secret Garden. Published in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's a fantastic book about enjoying the outdoors and how much a good friend can help someone out. The good message and excellent writing make it a beloved classic still read today, over 100 years later. She also wrote "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," both books I have read and enjoyed, though I believe this is her best one. With its folksy characters and low-key plot, this book is perfect for readers who want to read at a slower pace. It talks a lot about the benefits of being outside and being kind to animals, but it doesn't feel overly preachy. The main characters are Mary, a sickly Indian girl, Dickon, a boy who can talk to animals, and Colin, the son of the master of the house. Together they bring a secret garden to life, becoming as strong and bright as the roses they grew within the ivy-covered walls. I, personall...

The Character Files: 01. Katniss Everdeen: The Girl on Fire, the Mockingjay, and the YA Icon

By
THE CHARACTER FILES 01. The Girl On Fire Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article I'll be writing that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Starting off, I'll cover the face of young adult dystopia herself - Katniss Everdeen. There will be spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, so be warned! From The Mockingjay Part 1 Risen from the Ashes (Background) “District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games   As were most of the non career districts, District 12, Katniss’ birthplace, was rife with poverty. Disease and starvation were rampant, many people dying from them. (It is interesting to note that, despite seeing ill people frequently since her mother treats them, Katniss is not desensitized to seeing sickness. In fact, she is one of the least desensitized to it.) And...

Comparing Digital Art Programs

By
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita  - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want. It gives you access to all  brushes, colors, and other settings from the beginning without extra purchases. It's also quite advanced and powerful. Some drawbacks of Krita are that there is a learning curve, as the interface can be quite tricky. It's also very laggy and slow, especially on older laptops.
